Pet Parade Stay Off! Mat - Indoor Pet Training Sonic Repellent for Dogs and Cats, Browns, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

Que no funciona muy bien y no sirve para perros grandes no le tienen miedo

I have eight (yes, I am a sucker for unwanted pets) dogs. I did not do the "training" as explained in the packaging. They suggested placing your pet on the mat, letting the alarm go off, and shooing them off with a firm "no." I believe that THE DOGS should get THEMSELVES into the situation, not be forced into it and then punished for it. So, I waited with water pistol in hand for them to jump up on their own. First to try was the "devil dog." My smartest and most devious dog. He thought the noise was cool and a great new toy. I sprayed him with water, said "no" and he left it alone. A day later he tried again, and I chased him off. He has not tried a third time. But, it is still early. I suspect this mat will not be an effective deterent for him. On the other end of the spectrum, my Aussie jumped on it, the alarm went off, and she not only immediately jumped off without being told, she was so spooked she ran out the doggie door and into the back yard. Didn't want to come back in the room. Three others jumped on the mat and quickly got off on their own. The fourth hasn't even tried it yet. I think she witnessed the other dogs and the noise and is too scared to go near the couch. (The littlest dog can't jump up that far, so he is exempt.) The verdict? So far, after four days, it works like a charm with all but one of my dogs. Will it work with yours? Chances are good, but if you have a "devil dog" like I do, it may not be effective. UPDATE: I have had this for about a year now. After the first few days the puppies all learned to stay off the couch. Now, even if I take the mate off, they don't try to sneak back on it. Works like a charm!

We have two large dogs who destroyed 3 sofas in as many years. Using this spray off mat keeps the dogs off the sofas and on their own beds. Simple but very effective with excellent battery life. Easy to roll up when/if the King comes to tea

I purchased others before and they are better quality. They are small and they do not make a strong noise.

It's narrow; the length is okay but it's narrow so you really would need two to cover the width of a couch. Furthermore, the sensor is not that sensitive so you have to push it firmly in just the right spot to get a noise. My dog goes on the couch when I leave the house, so we tried this out the first day by leaving the house for 20 minutes to get frozen yogurt. When we came back, the dog had decided to destroy the item making a noise, and had chewed the plastic electronic bit to shreds and even chewed into the battery. You may say "well this is just a reflection of your poorly trained dog" and you may be right to an extent, but the purpose of the item was to help train the dog, only the noise is ineffective and the low quality plastic of this product allowed the dog too-easy access to the 9v battery i'm glad his mouth didn't get severely hurt by battery acid.
